"Is this devil here to take advantage of our Qiang Lake?”
Lin Zhengqi looked at Ye Song with a complicated expression. If it wasn't for this person's reinforcements, he would have been a ghost under the Japanese guns.
In the end, not only did they manage to defend Qianghu, but they also suffered the least casualties. The Central Army suffered 40% of the casualties, while the Japanese lost nearly 8,000 people. They had heard of this person's great achievements before, but he was still unable to do so. Now, he bowed to Song Ye from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Song supported him and said with a smile,
"Captain Lin, you don't have to be so polite. This is our duty."
"The commander of this attacking devil is called Yoshishima Sadao. He is the leader of the devil side. This time, he might have no choice but to come. After he saw that he could not take down Qianghu in one fell swoop, he naturally retreated. Anyway, the soldiers are not his, so he doesn't feel bad."
Then, Ye Song slowly opened his mouth to answer everyone's doubts. After a round of greetings, everyone arrived at the Hui City headquarters. Ye Song took out a map and discussed with Zhou Weiguo.
"Next is the real main battlefield. Now that we've cleared a wide area, the devils definitely haven't had time to send their troops forward. We'll undoubtedly be the fastest to enter the city from here."
" The regiment commander wants to return the way we came. This method is indeed the fastest, but I'm afraid that the northern part of Nanjin has been surrounded by the Japanese," Zhou Weiguo looked at the map and asked softly.
Ye Song smiled confidently and said,
" Even if there are devils, it's only a small group. Most of the troops won't be able to make it in time. The other areas are also far away. If there are really devils, we'll attack them."
Zhou Weiguo looked at his regiment commander with a helpless expression. Ye Song wasn't blindly confident. Although this battle was quick and the losses were huge, the rewards were undoubtedly abundant. Now, the system reward showed that Ye Song had a total of 5000 soldiers.
Among them, the heavy firepower included the infantry defense cannons that were originally meant to be used in Nanjin City, but were used here. The system rewarded them with 8 of them, 20 American Type 105 Howitzers, and countless guns and ammunition. They were all premium German equipment, enough to arm the entire Central Guards Regiment.
After bidding farewell to the 7th legion, Ye Song left behind a pile of corpses and some of his weapons. He led the remaining 1500 men of the Central Regiment and started to retreat from the east to the north of the city.
On the main battlefield of Nanjin, the troops of the Guizi had already gathered. Other than Guangde in the north and Qianghu in the west, which had not moved after being scattered by Song Ye and the Central Guards Regiment, the rest of the troops had already broken through and were about to reach Nanjin City.
It was the bone-chilling cold of winter. The generals of the Nanjin headquarters sat together and held an emergency meeting to plan for the defense of the city. During the meeting, the commander-in-chief of Nanjin, Tang Shenzhi, looked worried. No wonder he was acting like this. Tang Shenzhi's escape plan was destroyed by Song Ye. He dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. He hated the commander of the Central Guards Regiment to the core.
Speaking of the devil, Ye Song kicked open the door of the headquarters. He looked around and found a seat. After leading the entire army on their way, they finally arrived at Nanjin one morning. As he expected, there were no Japanese on the northern road. After settling the army in the city, he immediately went to the headquarters.
In the command center, Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing, Vice Commander Major General Zhou Zhengqiang, Chief of Staff Colonel Qiu Qingquan, General Staff Colonel Wan Chenqu, and the 2nd Regiment Commander Xie Chengrui sat together.
Tang Shenzhi sat in the main seat and watched Ye Song enter. His eyes were dark and gloomy, but he was not a fool. At this time, he still wanted to cause internal strife. He then slowly said to the generals,
" The Japanese army is about to reach Nanjin City. I have ordered the soldiers of the First Front to retreat into the city. In addition, I have ordered the 103rd Division, 112th Division, and the nearby 82nd Division to retreat to Nanjin. The 48th Division of the 2nd Division has arrived in Nanjing. The 156th Division of the 83rd Division has also retreated to Nanjing. The 154th Division is still retreating."
One by one, the defenders of the first front line retreated. Their faces were not looking good. Gui Yongqing continued his words and said,
"Other than the northern side of Nanjin, there are no more devil troops. According to the reports from the front, the devil troops from all other places have already rushed towards Nanjin."
Everyone looked at Ye Song, who was sitting in his seat with his legs crossed and swaying carelessly, with a complicated expression. Ye Song smiled at Gui Yongqing's appreciative gaze.
"However, don't be too confident. It's only a matter of time before the army at the south gate arrives, and I reckon it won't be long."
Ye Song looked at everyone and said his opinion calmly.
The crowd was in a heated discussion. The 2nd Regiment Commander Xie Cheng Rui cupped his fists at Ye Song to show his goodwill. He admired such a hero. Then, Commander Xie stood up and faced the crowd.
"Everyone, now that the devil soldiers are about to arrive at the city gates, I hope that all the troops can guard each gate well. I, Xie, will definitely take the lead and defend the city gates to the death."
After Regiment Commander Xie finished speaking, the headquarters discussed and decided on the battle plan. After the meeting ended, the generals returned to their own troops to plan the battle plan.
After Ye Song returned to the Central Army, he immediately transferred 2500 soldiers from the system to the Central Guards Regiment to prepare for the upcoming battle.
